NASCAR: Jason Leffler Wins Sam's Town 300

David PhillipsMar 2, 2009

I have eliminated all drivers who currently run a full Sprint Cup schedule from my Nationwide races and points system. I have formed the real Nationwide Series Results.

Saturday's race saw Jason Leffler as the real winner of yesterday's Nationwide Sams Town 300 at the Las Vegas Speedway.

Rounding out the top five:

2. Michael McDowell

3. Brendan Gaughan

4. Justin Allgaier

5. Scott Lagasse Jr.

I determined the points system each week using the current Nationwide results, removing all Sprint Cup drivers, and moving the Nationwide drivers up accordingly.

Also, I removed any bonus points from the drivers, even if they did lead a lap. There is no way to tell who or how many laps they would have lead without the Cup guys being there.

Weekly Big Winners and Losers

Losers
Steven Wallace losing 15 positions in the points, David Green losing seven spots, and Kertus Davis missing the race.
Winners
- Justin Allgaier moving up nine spots, up to fifth, and McDowell moving up five spots.
